Maypole::Application - Universal Maypole Frontend
use Maypole::Application; use Maypole::Application qw(Config::YAML); use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug Config::YAML -Setup); use Maypole::Application qw(Config::YAML Loader -Setup -Debug); use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug2 MasonX AutoUntaint);
This is a universal frontend for mod_perl1, mod_perl2, HTML::Mason and CGI.
Automatically determines the appropriate frontend for your environment (unless you want to use MasonX::Maypole, in which case include MasonX in the arguments).
MasonX
Loads plugins supplied in the use statement.
use
Responds to flags supplied in the use statement.
Initializes the application's configuration object.
You can omit the Maypole::Plugin:: prefix from plugins. So Maypole::Plugin::Config::YAML becomes Config::YAML.
use Maypole::Application qw(Config::YAML);
You can also set special flags like -Setup, -Debug and -Init.
use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug Config::YAML -Setup);
The position of plugins in the chain is important, because they are loaded/executed in the same order they appear.
Under mod_perl (1 or 2), selects Apache::MVC.
Otherwise, selects CGI::Maypole.
If MasonX is specified, sets MasonX::Maypole as the frontend. This currently also requires a mod_perl environment.
use Maypole::Application qw(-Setup);
is equivalent to
use Maypole::Application; MyApp->setup;
Note that no options are passed to setup(). You must ensure that the required model config parameters are set in MyApp->config. See Maypole::Config for more information.
setup()
MyApp->config
use Maypole::Application qw(-Setup -Init);
use Maypole::Application; MyApp->setup; MyApp->init;
Note that the -Setup flag is required for the -Init flag to work.
-Setup
-Init
In persistent environments (e.g. mod_perl), it is useful to call init once in the parent server, rather than at the beginning of the first request to each child server, in order to share the view code loaded during init. Note that you must supply all the config data to your app before calling setup and init, probably by using one of the Maypole::Plugin::Config::* plugins.
mod_perl
init
setup
Maypole::Plugin::Config::*
use Maypole::Application qw(-Debug);
use Maypole::Application; sub debug { 1 }
You can specify a higher debug level by saying -Debug2 etc.
-Debug2
